The problem with anecdotic insights like this is they don't give any information about the competitors, sure you have direct experience with GE (in a completely different dept) but how does that provide any information about any other manufacturer you didn't work at? they could be far worse, they could be far better. Also different divisions within GE could be managed in a vastly different way from your experience.
- voakbasda 5y agoI have worked with many large businesses in my long career. I would say that most are bad at software, to an extent that I am amazed that any of these gargantuan companies can remain in business. As someone that cares about quality, the experiences have helped to make me extremely bitter and cynical about a career that I once loved. The entire software industry is a house of cards, from what I have seen. No exceptions.
